	I am updating by CVS, but I'm fairly sure that I had properly 
gotten the 1.5.2.-REL share.tar.gz along with all the other standard 
tarballs during the installation process (omitting only the X-related 
tarballs, since this machine will never have enough CPU or memory to 
run X, nor do I have anything on which I would want to run X).

	I thought that I had been doing a "cvs checkout" from scratch 
(according to the instructions in section 18.2 of the NetBSD Guide, 
leaving out the "-rnetbsd-1-5" in order to grab the latest source), 
the last couple of times I updated.  Is that not correct?

	Assuming I did somehow manage to miss getting it, I'll try 
downloading the share.tar.gz file and extracting that in /usr/src, 
and try everything over again.

	Based on your explanantion, something is pretty clearly munged 
here.  I'll try grabbing the latest "share" tarball and extracting 
that into /usr/src, and then try grabbing the latest source, and then 
try the build.sh script again.

	Thanks!
